The Guest Book

It's time to finish off the wedding guest book, otherwise known as the wedding quilt. All the squares have now been received (some of them making a journey to Australia and back) so it's time to sew them all together.

I prepared all the squares before they were signed; sewing the design together, trimming and putting tape over the seam allowance. This was to save me time when assembling the quilt.

Firstly, I took off the tape and laid out all the squares until I was happy with the design:

Each square was sewn together in a row (right sides together):

Before the rows were sewn together:

All of the seams were pressed. This was done row by row and then the bigger block.

Next step is purchasing some wadding and backing fabric before basting all the layers together.
